1 dictator 2 little man 3 a street fighter 4 sunlight on decorated scaffolding 5 a lover of the people 6 holding a ball and tennis racket 7 actual reality: historical records from official archives 8 the Romanian version of a "brave new world" 9 recalcitrant ruler doesn't see that his time is over 10 a violent end to a cult of personality that wasn't 20 An edited collage of known and unknown scenes from the life of Nicolae Ceaucescu, as they were filmed during his years as the leader of Romania, paints a picture that - more than personal experience with the regime - is the image that will be remembered by the world and by most Romanians.
